Ethereum's price settled above $2,400 but below $2,500 on September 1, according to Polymarket data, as two binary contracts resolved in opposite directions on the prediction market.[^2][^3]

A contract asking whether Ethereum would be above $2,500 on that date resolved near 0% on $55,300 of volume, while a separate contract for the $2,400 threshold resolved near 100% on $75,941 of volume.[^2][^3] The read here is that Ethereum closed the day in a narrow band, failing to breach the higher round number after the market had priced in some chance of doing so.

Bitcoin fared worse. A Polymarket contract on whether Bitcoin would be above $80,000 on September 1 resolved near 0% on $204,625 of volume, the largest single-market volume in this batch of settlements.[^1]

Two AI-related markets shifted sharply on September 1. The probability that Google would be the #3 AI lab at the end of October 2026 rose 18 points, from 24% to 41%, on $15,034 of volume.[^4] Separately, the probability that any model other than the current leader would be the best AI model on September 7, 2026, also rose 18 points, from 26% to 44%, on $11,259 of volume.[^5]

Elon Musk's August tweet count landed in a specific range. A contract for 880-919 tweets resolved near 99% on $55,202 of volume, while a contract for 840-879 tweets resolved near 0% on $181,591 of volume, the second-largest pool in this set.[^6][^7]

A sports contract on Argentine club Estudiantes de La Plata winning on August 31 resolved near 0% on $57,976 of volume.[^8]
